Hear the sirens Hear the sirens
Verse 1
C Csus2 C Csus2 Am Asus Am Asus
Hear the sirens, hear the circus so profound
C Csus2 C Csus2 Am Asus Am Asus
I hear the sirens, more and more in this here town
G G/A G/B G/D Cadd9 Em
Let me catch my breath to breathe and reach across the bed
G G/A G/B G/D Cadd9 Am
Just to know we're safe I am a grateful man
G G/A G/B G/D Cadd9 Em
The slightest bit of light and I can see you clear
Chorus
Am C G
Oh, have to take your hand and feel your breath
Dm
For fear this someday will be over
Am C G Dm C/E
I pull you close, so much to lose knowing that nothing lasts forever
F C G
I didn't care before you were here
Dm C/E
I danced in laughter with the Everafter
F C G
But all things change; let this remain

Verse 2
C Csus2 C Csus2 Am Asus Am Asus
Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
C Csus2 C Csus2 Am Asus Am Asus
The sound echoing closer, will they come for me next time?
G G/A G/B G/D Cadd9 Em
For every choice, mistake I've made, it's not my plan
G G/A G/B G/D Cadd9 Am
To send you in the arms of another man
G G/A G/B G/D Cadd9 Em
And if you choose to stay I'll wait, I'll understand, hmmm
Chorus
Am C G
It's a fragile thing, this life we lead
Dm Am C
If I think too much, I can get overwhelmed by the grace
G Dm C/E
By which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
F C G
Want you to know that should I go
Dm C/E
I always loved you, held you high above too
F C Em
I study your face, and the fear goes away
